Ableton Live 10 Announced

Ableton has announced the much-anticipated next version of Live, the company's software for music creation and performance. Live 10 introduces four new Devices, a completely re-designed sound library, workflow-accelerating refinements and more. Improvements to Push allow more of the music creation process to happen away from the computer and a fully-integrated Max for Live means unlimited potential comes built into Live.

Not only have lots of new features and improvements been added to version 10 but there is currently a very sweet deal that will make Live 10 even more tempting (and affordable). Between now and the release of the new version you can get 20% off Live 9 and you will get a FREE upgrade to Live 10 when it is released early next year!

New Devices, new sounds

A new instrument and three new effects bring a broader, bolder palette of sound to Live.

Wavetable is Ableton’s new synth. Its vast sonic palette is created with
a variety of waveforms derived from analog synths and a range of other instruments and
sounds, as well as modeled analog filters, and deep, flexible modulation

New library of sound

With a re-designed Core Library and all-new Packs, Live 10 has more inspiring sounds that
are ready for music making, right out of the box.

The Core Library gets a sonic upgrade with richer, more detailed sounds. It has also been
reorganized to make those sounds easier to find.

Essential Instruments are four new Packs including synths, and multi-sampled electric keys
and drums.

Curated Collections are carefully compiled Packs that capture the musical threads that tie
together evolving styles and scenes—each containing instruments, clips and samples that
share a common sonic theme.

More hands-on control with Push

Live 10 brings new functionality and new high-resolution visualizations
to Push.

A new step sequencing layout allows simultaneous note sequencing
and real time playing.

Notes in a clip are displayed directly on Push for easier navigation
and refinement.

Detailed views show the interfaces of key Ableton Devices including
Wavetable, Echo, EQ Eight and Compressor.

Workflow improvements to layouts, building and extending patterns,
track arming and more give beat makers a more fluid experience while in
the creative process.

Max for Live – no limits, built in

Max for Live is now built into Live 10, providing faster, more stable
performance.

A fully integrated Max for Live means Max for Live devices now load
faster, use less CPU and feel more like Live’s native Devices.

Advanced MIDI–hardware integration is possible now Max for
Live devices can send and receive SysEx, allowing deeper access to
synthesizers—including full preset backup dumps, parameter control and
more. Max for Live can also create custom control surfaces for custom
hardware integration.
